Asian baby born to white woman in UK
In a rare instance, a white British woman has given birth to an Asian baby as a surrogate mother for a childless couple.
The real identity of the couple or that of the surrogate mother has not been revealed. Reports however say that the child is now three months old.
The surrogate mother, who was identified as ���Karen��� by a healthcare assistant in southeast England, said: ���Colour was not an issue for me.
It did not make any difference.���
Karen also suggested that she was willing to surrogate a second child for the Asian couple, a report in ���The Sunday Times��� said. Professor Ian Craft, the director of the London fertility centre, where the Asian couple were treated, said: ���The major risk in surrogacy is that the surrogate mother may not want to yield the child. The surrogate is unlikely to want to keep a child of a different race. That is just human nature.���
The report said that there was a shortage of surrogate mothers, and an infertile couple could be expected to pay as much as ��10,000 to have another woman bear their child.
However, it added that couples who travel to India can find a surrogate for much less price at about ��3,000.
